NoMachine makes available updated packages for version 8 to fix issues affecting earlier versions and provide some enhancements related to profile rules management, in particular when creating groups on a per-node and per-user basis together, and better handling deletion of large numbers of rules. This NoMachine update also integrates important security patches released by the X.org Foundation which fix the vulnerabilities CVE-2023-6816, CVE-2024-0229, CVE-2024-21885, CVE-2024-21886 and others. In addition, the third party library libssh2 has been updated to include the fix for CVE-2023-48795, albeit not exploitable through NoMachine. Details of these security fixes are available on their respective maintainers' websites: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2024-January/061525.html and here https://www.libssh.org/security/advisories/CVE-2023-48795.txt

Important Notice

In NoMachine version 8, UPnP/NAT-PMP is disabled by default in the Free Edition. To get access to your computer over the internet, NoMachine's UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping must be enabled by hand ('Server settings -> Ports' -> Select the service and click on Configure); or alternatively, your router can be configured with the appropriate port-forwarding rule. When port-mapping/port-forwarding is enabled, remote NoMachine connections, including connection requests from guests via the Guest Desktop Sharing feature will be possible.
